Methodology

For every cuisine-county combo with sufficient history, RiskyEats builds monthly closure-rate series from January 2014 through April 2026. The peer-comparison label compares the forecast summer average with the prior summer baseline and historical summer variation. Production intent is Forecasting NIM on CERBERUS:8003; this render remains shippable with a local seasonal fallback when output/tse_forecasts.parquet has not landed.

Disclaimer: forecasts are not closure determinations. Intervals widen with horizon, sparse counties are noisier, and counts may revise when DBPR or external place-status records refresh.
